Re: Client Access and V4.4

Mary Lou, why are you afraid of the Client Access Express  product? 

It is reliable, configures easily, and set-up can be a user activity if 
you like.    Because of this ease of setup non-IT people can have dial-up 
without having a home visit from an IT staff person.  It is especially 
useful for dial-in because it can autoconfigure the attached PC printer so 
a user can print easily at home.  (I'd bet that after you have a way to 
reach your LAN with dial-up networking that you could set up your own 
Client Access Express with a printer session, in under 12 minutes.)

Beyond all of that though, I like it because the toolbar is configurable. 
I love having "cut" and "copy append" and "paste next" on the toolbar. 
There are other features too but those are the ones that made me a fan.

        Subject:        Client Access and V4.4

Good morning all.   I want you all to know that your knowledge and 
information passed to me has been grand. So I'm hoping someone will be 
able 
to assist me with this.   In fact, I know you will.   I just did the 
upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 yesterday, I had it sitting since 
December.    Nothing like being scared of doing an upgrade.   But I 
finally 
bit the bullet.    And really, it did seem to go pretty well, except now I 

have stuff starting that I truly don't need at this time, or I doubt that 
we will even use it.    However, my question is really for Client 
Access.  I am running version 3.2 (not express) and I want to roll it out 
slowly, due to the hand holding that needs to go on in the education 
field.  This morning, I went to do the service pack upgrade on my home 
laptop, which dials into the network, but does not assign any 
drives.   This used to work for the service pack installs, prior to this 
and I was wondering what made the difference?   Am I going to have to put 
the Novell client on the laptop to do this in the future?     Also, if I 
upgrade the Client Access to the Express client, will my users who have 
locally attached printers still be able to emulate a session to print to 
them?   (This is like 75% of the users - They have gotten used to printing 

right there).   Again, I thank you in advance for your responses, and you 
can respond to me directly if needed.
